All the atheists had to hide their feelings in those days. Einstein never had any conflict with regard to religion. He knew what the story was for gods sake. He was one of the smartest people to ever live. He was a man of science. He interpreted Spinoza as the wonderment of the universe for the press. He gave the press a story that made sense if one didn't look too hard. And it was true. He was amazed by the universe and probably more amazed he could be amazed. He never did tell the press (exactly) he was actually trying to get into gods head-lol. He said he wanted to know the mind of god, but not the part about psychoanalysing him-lol. What he did struggle with his whole life was his relationship with his tribe. When he was vey young and very idealistic he tried to give that up too. It is very clear to all the great thinkers we are all the same and the differences are just made up shit. So when one is in a state of deep honesty they have to recognize that. But as he endured so much racism and WWII and he grew older he moved back toward his tribe. I can sure understand that. But he never doubted where he stood with regard to religion. Most of we atheists don't. Once one sees it clearly there is seldom equivocation thereafter.
